Sara and Lucas envisioned their wedding as a blend of timeless elegance and relaxed romance, thoughtfully designed to create a warm, inviting experience for their guests. Set against the backdrop of La Foce’s classic Italian charm, the celebration featured a soft, neutral palette with lush florals and flowing fabrics that added texture and movement. Their goal was to strike a balance between Italian tradition and modern style to honor their heritage and the historic beauty of the villa while incorporating contemporary touches for a fresh, elevated feel. Every detail, from custom monogrammed fans to the subtle Roman plaster textures in the stationery, was chosen with care to create a day that felt effortless, intimate, and beautifully cohesive both for the couple and for their guests.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]What started as a casual dinner plan with Lucas’ cousin, the same cousin who had introduced them eight years earlier, quickly became a night Sara and Lucas would never forget. Sara arrived at Lucas’ house expecting to have a quick drink before heading out, but as she walked into the backyard, she was surprised by a beautiful path of candles and flowers leading to an arch that read “It was always you.”
Lucas was waiting at the end of the path and got down on one knee. After the proposal, they shared an intimate dinner in the backyard with both of their parents and Sara’s dog, Bella, by their side. Though Bella passed just two weeks later, Sara feels grateful that she was there to be part of such a special moment—one that marked the start of a new chapter with Lucas.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]
For their August wedding in the heart of Tuscany, comfort was important, especially with the Italian summer heat in full force. Sara chose a gown by Ines Di Santo that struck the perfect balance between timeless sophistication and effortless wearability. Crafted from intricate lace, the gown embodied classic Italian romance, with a scalloped hem and dramatic low back adding just the right amount of impact. The silhouette was not only flattering but also allowed her to move with ease throughout the day’s celebrations. To complete the look, Ines designed a custom, nearly 20-foot veil edged in delicate lace to mirror the gown’s detailing, paired with a slimmer blusher that framed Sara’s face in soft, romantic layers. After dinner, as the sun set and the dancing began, Sara changed into a second look that reflected her love of both modern lines and romantic textures. Wanting to feel free and comfortable on the dance floor, she opted for a sleek silk gown by Jenny Yoo, customized with an asymmetrical draped sleeve and a high slit. The structured corset bodice offered a flattering fit, while a row of delicate buttons down the back added a subtle, charming detail. Light, elegant, and movement-friendly, the second gown was made for celebration, carrying her through the night with ease and style.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]
Sara and Lucas curated a wedding menu that delivered “wow!” with every bite, offering guests a memorable culinary experience that reflected the richness of the Tuscan setting. The meal began with a refreshing grilled peach and burrata salad, followed by a duo of pasta courses that set the tone for indulgence: handmade ricotta and lemon ravioli served in a delicate asparagus cream, and a vibrant red pepper risotto finished with burrata foam and a touch of pistachio. For the main course, guests selected between two options: a sea bass finished with a champagne and lemon sauce, or a tender beef fillet accompanied by a robust Chianti Classico reduction. As a thoughtful nod to the region, the couple served Tignanello, a celebrated Tuscan red wine, adding a luxurious complement to the meal’s flavours. The beverage experience was equally intentional, with signature cocktails crafted to reflect the couple’s personal tastes. Lucas’s signature old-fashioned and Sara’s gin and elderflower cocktail anchored the menu, which was divided between cocktail hour and post-dinner service. Guests enjoyed an array of spritzes, from timeless Aperol and limoncello variations to a refreshing Hugo and a regional peach-infused Tuscan spritz, each drink capturing the celebratory spirit and sun-soaked charm of the day.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]
The florals and décor thoughtfully echoed the natural beauty and charm of the Italian setting. A palette of neutral blooms, accented with subtle touches of powder blue, set a serene yet sophisticated tone for the day. Antique-inspired Italian cutlery, delicate glassware, and softly flickering candles introduced a sense of vintage elegance, while fairy lights hidden among the trees cast a gentle glow over the dinner area, adding warmth without overpowering the scene. Wooden chairs lent a rustic, Tuscan feel that harmonized effortlessly with the historic villa. The stationery design featured a Roman clay texture, with custom pocket menus personalized for each guest. Inside, softly shaped menus highlighted blue floral illustrations and a light steel blue clay backdrop that mirrored the floral arrangements. Each menu was finished with a French blue silk ribbon and a gold floral grommet, while powder blue napkins printed with a charming floral toile pattern tied the entire tablescape together, creating an atmosphere that felt both elevated and inviting.

The evening concluded with a memorable and interactive cake show, as Galateo’s pastry chefs crafted a stunning millefoglie layered with Chantilly cream, chocolate drops, and fresh berries. As the chefs expertly assembled the dessert in front of all the guests, Sara and Lucas joined in to add the final touches. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and cheers as friends and family gathered to watch the creation come to life, turning a classic Italian tradition into a shared experience. The moment highlighted the craftsmanship of the pastry team and transformed the wedding cake into a true centerpiece of the celebration.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]
As guests arrived at the villa, a live string quartet set the tone with classical music that beautifully complemented the elegance of the ceremony. Later, their spirited renditions of modern favorites during the cocktail hour added a playful, Bridgerton-inspired twist that delighted guests of all ages. Sara and Lucas had one clear priority for their reception: that it be fun for everyone. The music was thoughtfully curated to span generations and tastes, from lively Italian dance hits like “Sara Perche Ti Amo” to nostalgic ’90s and early 2000s favorites such as “Gasolina” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” This dynamic blend kept energy high and the dance floor full, creating an atmosphere of pure celebration that carried through the entire day.

One of the most memorable moments of the after-party came when Lucas and Sara jumped into the pool, soon joined by a group of their closest friends.

The spontaneous dip added a carefree, joyful energy to the evening, with laughter and cheers echoing well into the night.
